Chapter 895 Money for Everything (Part 5)
“That is…” Han Yi focused his attention and looked closely.
Even though there was a grand hall right in front of me, when I tried to sense it carefully, it was vague and indistinct, like a wisp of air drifting in the void, without roots or branches, and unpredictable.
If you want to pretend you don't see it, to act as if it's nothing...
That massive and majestic palace loomed before us like Mount Tai, impossible to ignore or bypass, causing our hearts to tremble.
"The Niwan Divine Palace, the final stage of enlightenment... So it seems... we've barely completed most of the nine stages of enlightenment..."
Gazing at the divine palace for a long time, Han Yi suddenly understood. It was the unique spiritual energy and demonic power cultivation system of the Hundred Veins of the Northern Lands.
It is indeed a completely new cultivation system, distinct from martial arts and bloodlines.
But that doesn't mean...
Achievements made on other paths cannot be applied to the Hundred Meridians Demon Power Cultivation System.
Han Yi's current level of attainment.
His self-created Hunyuan Tianluo Dao (Primordial Heavenly Net Path) gathers Qi, all streams return to their source, and all rivers flow into the sea, integrating various cultivation systems into himself.
The current Chaos Gray Qi has three forms to choose from: the first form is Martial Dao True Essence, the second form is Spiritual Seed Bloodline, and the third form is Demonic Qi and Demonic Essence.
His martial arts prowess is comparable to that of a top-tier grandmaster, and he is only one step away from becoming a venerable one.
The Bloodline Spirit Seed is at the True Spirit Half-Body level. Except for lacking a Bloodline Divine Weapon, it is almost identical to those with mutated bloodlines, which is the same level as Fan Hongchou back then. As for the third form of demonic energy and demonic essence, it is mainly used on the Netherworld Pearl.
Originating from the life essence of hundreds of thousands of demons, the Netherworld Pearl, born from the compressed Asura Fire, underwent two advancements, transforming from the ancient demon king Kuqi and achieving its ultimate form through the severed arm of an unknown demon lord.
Although the Netherworld Pearl can be absorbed and utilized after its essence is analyzed after being integrated into the Primordial Heavenly Net Path.
However, its birth, growth, and development are all related to demonic energy, demonic essence, and the demon race.
Therefore, for the Netherworld Pearl, demonic energy and demonic essence are the best source of energy.
Just how powerful is the Netherworld Pearl when it unleashes its full force?
Han Yi didn't know either.
Because there's simply no chance to force him to use the Netherworld Pearl at full power.
A single wisp of Netherfire was enough to incinerate the ancient demon king Kuqi completely... Its true power is self-evident.
However, Han Yi's strength is not limited to this...
His greatest strength... is still his physical body.
Through the supply of primordial gray energy, the primordial physical body, under the influence of change, can be improved indefinitely.
It's hard to say what the specific realm of the physical body is.
Because in this world, there is no one who has only cultivated their physical body and has reached Han Yi's current level.
If I had to use a level to describe it...
Let's take the most intuitive Demon race system as an example for comparison.
At least.
Han Yi also needs to have the physical strength of a top-tier demon king.
Perhaps they are no match for the four great demon lords of the demon realm.
Even if the Demon Lord wanted to kill him, it would take him a lot of effort.
Even Han Yi at full power. Relying solely on his physical body.
You can sense the oppressive atmosphere of this world.
It seems that we have already reached a limit in the universe. If we take another step and cross this boundary, calamity will immediately befall us.
Calamity.
Heavenly calamity.
This is enough to explain.
With Han Yi's current strength, if he were to go all out and wreak havoc, even this entire world would suffer significant damage.
At his level.
No matter how unique, novel, or strange the cultivation system one encounters, with a comprehensive understanding, even the most basic early stages can be completed in a very short time.
The spiritual energy and demonic power of the hundred meridians of the demon race are no exception to the divine forging techniques.
Therefore, it is not surprising that eight orifices were opened in just one day, with only the last divine palace remaining to be opened.
"The Divine Palace... the Niwan Palace... the method to open the orifices..."
Before the majestic palace, Han Yi's mind went blank as he pondered the secret method for opening the Divine Palace described in the Divine Forging Technique.
"The five hearts connect to the mysterious female, the three passes link to the Purple Palace... Gather the purple qi from the east in the morning, absorb the pure light from the west at night... Guard in stillness, open the orifices of intention... The fire in the dantian burns, the two kidneys are scalded... Close your eyes and look inward, there is a tidal sound in the navel... When the qi and energy intersect, the form is unified, yin and yang unite, spirit and intention merge, all return to the Niwan..."
"What nonsense about the rising sun and purple aura, the clear light of heaven and earth? Is there any way to become strong out of nowhere without eating, drinking, eating meat, or plundering? What a joke! You're just creating obscure words and making things mysterious again."
Han Yi was getting impatient; he had figured it out.
The contents of this Divine Forging Technique are described in a series of profound and mysterious statements, seemingly unfounded and utterly illusory.
No wonder the family of three he encountered back then, with their half-demon daughter, was slow to understand things.
The methods for opening the mind mentioned in the Forging Spirit Technique.
Even a normal person, let alone an idiot, couldn't master it.
These obscure terms, even if you asked a learned and erudite scholar to explain them, they would still be incomprehensible.
Or.
It's not that I don't understand it.
Instead, they deliberately use pedantic language and create new terms in their techniques to make them incomprehensible to you.
Only with detailed explanations in the secret manual or oral guidance from a senior can one successfully cultivate it.
This is what annoys Han Yi the most. Putting everything else aside...
The martial arts true energy system is much stronger than the demonic energy system in this respect.
Whether one achieves true mastery of martial arts depends entirely on the individual.
The content mainly consists of graphics and body postures. If you persist in it over the years, it will transform your Qi and blood, and generate strength.
Han Yi did not deny that there might be some hidden elements within the true essence of martial arts.
But the concealment here is more about hiding the key to breakthroughs and important secret techniques.
It is not the Hundred Meridians Demon Power System, and this is a cover-up in the content.
Why are there differences between the two?
Han Yi made a rough guess.
Perhaps the success of mastering true martial arts skills depends more on the individual.
One must possess the necessary temperament, aptitude, and innate talent. If any one of these is lacking, it will be difficult to achieve true mastery, and one's abilities will remain mediocre throughout life.
Therefore, most martial arts systems recruit a wide number of disciples, resulting in large sects. They are not particularly concerned about whether the true techniques are circulated outside the sect.
The true skills that are passed down will, on the contrary, promote the development of the sect and make it famous.
The Hundred Meridians Forging Spirit System is different. Here, as long as the cultivation method is complete and the spiritual energy is sufficient, one can plunder the essence of others. As long as the amount of essence absorbed is large enough, the converted spiritual energy will be sufficient.
In a short period of time, multiple powerful individuals can be quickly recreated by infusing spiritual energy.
The unit production speed is extremely fast.
In this situation, a correct, complete cultivation method that clearly records higher levels of cultivation becomes extremely important.
Therefore, compared to martial arts sects, the Hundred Meridians School has far fewer members and places greater emphasis on lineage transmission and oral tradition to maintain the secrecy of its techniques.
This way.
Compared to martial arts sects, disciples within the Hundred Veins School are more united, of one mind, and place great importance on inheritance and camaraderie.
This is the advantage of the Hundred Meridians Cultivation System.
of course.
This is both an advantage and a disadvantage.
In practical terms, this applies to individual self-cultivation.
If the Hundred Meridians School encounters an accident, its techniques become incomplete, or there is no one to guide it.
Vague or ambiguous statements in the practice methods, along with differences in subjective understanding, can lead to misunderstandings, deviations from the essence of the methods, and ultimately, errors in practice.
Practicing the wrong cultivation method and going astray is tantamount to murder and the extermination of one's clan. Once one truly practices the wrong method, the possible consequences are unimaginable. Going into qi deviation and being crippled are the least of one's worries.
Suicides and mental breakdowns are common occurrences.
Just like Han Yi now.
The two manuals I acquired forging divine skills are the Black Feather True Scripture and the Hundred Leaves Treasure Book.
It's a very simple matter, but they insist on making it sound extremely serious and using a lot of words to embellish it, turning it into a different story and distracting people from the main point.
"Spiritual energy is the same... It's essentially a kind of vital energy, but it has to be given lofty terms, and the act of plunder is beautified as a necessity for protective formations..."
Han Yi reflected on his experiences over the past few days and gained a deeper understanding of the rules of the North.
"Get it, get it... In the end... there may be many methods, ever-changing... but the ultimate goal is actually only one..."
Han Yi brought his wandering thoughts back to reality. He simply tossed the Black Feather Scripture and the Hundred Leaves Manual aside and began to ponder.
"Break through the body's key points in sequence: the 'intention' of the main point, the 'spirit' of the Jade Pillow Point, the 'form' of the Crimson Palace, the 'momentum' of the Spine Point... all returning to the Yin and Yang points, finally opening the Divine Palace and opening all nine points..."
Han Yi's mind cleared, and his spirit suddenly shone brightly.
"And now... all eight orifices are open, only the Niwan Divine Palace remains... although this orifice is the first in unifying the nine orifices, illuminating the divine will, and is the most difficult to open..."
Even those with naturally strong spirits would need at least several days to hone their skills... but at my current level..."
He was silent for a moment.
My entire mind gradually calmed down.
I've been cultivating for so long.
Han Yi refused to believe that he could be stumped by something as simple as "enlightenment." There are three thousand great paths, but all lead to the same destination.
If he wants to open it, then he can open it.
Han Yi took a deep breath, his mind racing, and reached out to touch the palace gate.
But then he burst out laughing.
He exists in the form of thought, but has no physical form whatsoever.
Suddenly, Han Yi sensed that something was wrong with his surroundings.
Suddenly, everything went dark.
The vast and majestic palace vanished in an instant.
"No, that's not right... It's not that it disappeared... It's that I've unknowingly entered it..." Under the perception of the mind, a huge stream of information surged in from all directions.
The darkness before him seemed very small, barely enough to contain him alone, yet it also seemed infinitely vast, extending and expanding into distant, infinite space with his mental exploration.
"Actually, all nine orifices of my body have already been opened... All I need is a single thought..." Han Yi suddenly realized.
He had just reached out, wanting to push open the gates of the shrine, and the thought had simply crossed his mind, so he naturally entered.
"So... this place... is the Shrine... the deepest spiritual space within... a visual representation of the mind and spiritual power?"
Staring into the deep darkness before him, Han Yi seemed lost in thought.
“But something’s not right… How could someone as kind as me have such a dark heart?” He frowned.
The divine palace, also known by many names such as Alaya consciousness, subconsciousness, and divine consciousness, is the external manifestation of all the deep inner desires, thoughts, memories, ideas, and experiences of a person. It stores everything that an individual has experienced, including information that has been forgotten or that they do not want to remember.
This is precisely why Han Yi was puzzled.
After all, someone with his stable temperament, who mostly kills for self-preservation, couldn't possibly be entirely dark. His inner world should be one of truth, goodness, and beauty.
so…...
"It's too dark, we need light. I said it." Han Yi thought to himself.
